Good morning, all! This month should see Monty and Glesni making their return (if all goes well!). I must say that SunnyKate2's last post on the January to March thread is well worth investigating!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
OK, WENDY, I'm editing my post to more accurately reflect my feelings on seeing his plight ;-)

"Monty loses his dignity on the nest" - hilarious ;-D
EDIT - and touching :-* They dive straight in to damned hard work after a 3,000 mile journey.

Sheryl, that was the sort of thing I might have missed when scrolling thru for "interesting" bits. Thanks so much on behalf of all of us.

Not reading all the way back but thanks for updates, vids and pics. Scylla that one of Monty trying to scrape and falling over , so funny. Wonder what will happen then if Glesni arrives back to find another Missus has claimed the attentions of Monty.
Just seen that one is roosting on the wide perch on the nest.

Scylla. Thanks for finding and posting that upside-down vid of Monty... as you say hilarious.
Now I shan't feel quite so bad, self-conscious, or foolish myself next time I go head over heels, as it seems it can happen to even the natural worlds best, :-D
Evening all! Nice to be back in a warm flat of an evening!
Thanks for the Monty flip-video - that's a cracker! I do hope Emyr will post an HD version with funny music!

Just returned home having been out all day - a charity performance of Messiah at the Royal Festival Hall this evening. On the tube home, I was thinking whether it would be a Hallelujah Chorus of welcome for Monty when I logged on! So glad he is home safe and sound but do wish Glesni had beaten Blue24 back...

I assume this is Blue24 on nest perch - she is so determined to make this nest her own
